I'm getting pop-ups from the lower right hand corner of my screen.?
Something new is happening when I log onto the internet. I get pop-ups from the right hand lower corner and they are begining to p---s me off. How do I get rid of these, I have a blocker, but not for these new popups. Can anyone help?
They do not inform me that there is a virus, if I go onto a website and look then from the corner pops up something from another site that seems to be connected to the one I am looking at. I was looking at vehicles and popups from other site took over. I finally gave up and closed everything.
I have found out what this thing is it is called 'Zango' I have deleted it and still it seems to grab my computer.
This Zango is an adware, have no idea where it came from but it went from 0 to 187 in a matter of hours. It really tried to comsume my computer. So I up graded my protection. Thankyou all.

what kind of pop up blocker do you have? you might have to re-download a pop up blocker. You might want to start doing that every month, updating it. bcuz new pop ups get through the old pop up blockers...

What do they say? Are they telling you that you have a virus or other nasty and to click there to get rid of them? - DO NOT CLICK ON IT! This makes the problem worse. I had this and it was a virus, well a trojan adware thing. It took me a whole day to track it down and remove it using Yahoo Anti-Spy, SpyBot, Lavasoft Ad-Aware, Norton AV and a lot of Safe Mode & regedit work. Get rid of things like SpySheriff or BugDoctor, or whatever else you may have been asked to get. Were you trying to download dodgy things?
It might not be as simple as removing it. They leave things behind in your registry. Do a search online and find out more about how and where it puts stuff on your PC.
